Absolutely, I will second that comment, as well as many others that have installed it I'm sure.

Thanks very much Larryw1 and carrierj. Can the sway bar be installed by a non mechanic. I did install my bull bar. Is there anything that I should be careful about or are the instructions pretty clear.

I am also looking at changing my window deflectors to the ones that insert into the window frame for a more refined look, do not like how they were installed.

Yes, it's very easy. No jacking required. I would recommend using a creeper for sure.

This is the installation instructions I used.

I agree, it is pretty easy if you can do a bull bar then you can do the sway bar

At about the 6:20 in the video they move the brackets up so the bar and bolts don't hang down...I did this to mine after not doing it when 1st installed. Looks better from the rear than the ugly bar hanging down so low + I'm guessing one less thing to get snagged in case yer in a situation where things can get ya!!

Finally got my air compressor plate fabricated, painted and installed. Now no worries when loading up bed with firewood or forgetting to tie down heavy item that might cause damage when hard breaking. I know the ECG / NSR is kind of cheesy......but I am BillThePA. BTW I too absolutely love this forum and more importantly this thread. Sorry for the first photo. Can't seem to be able to rotate it.

I'm steadily getting parts in to do my subwoofer upgrade. Sub came in on Saturday, amp and remote should be here on Wednesday. I'm going to order some 4ga OFC wiring today and a Pioneer shallow mount box. This weekend I should have some more thump in the truck.

Curious Husker.....will the Hell wig interfere with my airbags? I watched a YouTube video and it seem not to.
